Help:Links

From Wikia Help

A core element of the wiki software, links allow you to quickly and simply link to other pages on (or off) the wiki.

How to create simple links

Links are created using one or two square brackets:

For a simple internal link, use two brackets:

[[Article name]]

For an internal link that shows different text, use two brackets like you would on a normal link and add a bar (|) in bewtween the article name and your desired text:

[[Article name|text you want]]

For an internal link to an anchor (heading) on the same page, use the # symbol before the heading name.

For an external link, use only one bracket:

[http://www.example.com]

And for an external link with link text, use one bracket and a space in between the link and your text:

[http://www.example.com link text]
